The cause of deaths and toxicology reports are still pending. The Coroner's Office says a final report could take another three to four weeks to complete.

The victims were among nine women celebrating Fojas' recent wedding when the limo they were in caught fire on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge on Saturday night. Four of the women managed to escape.

Fojas and Balon had previously been identified by family. Estrera was identified by her employer.

Balon's husband, John Balon, told the San Francisco Chronicle that their 10-year-old daughter cries for her mother at night and is still working on paintings to give her for Mother's Day.

The 38-year-old Balon said his daughter and 1-year-old son are still looking for their mother. He told his daughter that she is in heaven and wouldn't be happy if they worried about her.

"Every time I see my kids playing, I miss her so much," Balon told the newspaper.
